NCAA announces Tournament sites through 2021-2022

Here is the list of future men’s basketball Tournament sites, with all First Four opening round games still to take place in Dayton, Ohio.

Some notable tidbits about certain venues from the NCAA.com website:

• First- and second-round men’s basketball games in 2020 slated for Greensboro, North Carolina, will be the first time they will stage tournament games since 2012.
• 2022 will mark a return of NCAA basketball to three cities that have not hosted the men’s tournament in decades. The West Regional will be played in San Francisco, which has not been a tournament site since 1960, and come 2022, Fort Worth, Texas, which hasn’t been a tournament site since 1970, will host first- and second-round games. Cincinnati also will host first- and second-round action, marking the first time in 30 years the tournament will make its’ return to the Queen City.
• 2019 also will mark a return of games to sites that have not recently hosted. Columbia, South Carolina last hosted games in 1970, while Hartford, Connecticut, has not played any tournament games since 1998.
• Previous cities selected to host future Men’s Final Fours include San Antonio (2018), Minneapolis (2019), Atlanta (2020), Indianapolis (2021) and New Orleans (2022).
